for two years now syria has been marred in a ferocious civil war with more than 100,000 killed with conventional arms. that's according to u.n. estimates. this tragic situation has promoted many to look to the united states for help. so one year ago president obama made a declaration. if assad used or started moving chemical weapons, he'd do something about it. well, as we all know on august 21 of this year that red line was crossed. the president's delayed response was to call for a show of force for targeted limited strikes against the regime. we've been told that the purpose of these strikes is to deter and degrade assad's regime's ability to use chemical weapons. so let's take a closer look at these aims. first, no one disputes that the atrocities committed in syria in recent weeks are unspeakable. no one disputes that those responsible for these crimes against the innocent should be held to account. we were absolutely right, of course, to condemn these crimes. but let's be very clear about something, these attacks, monstrous as they are, were not a direct attack against the united states or

the credit belongs to the man or the woman actually in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, who comes short again and again. because there is no effort without error and shortcoming. but who does actually strive to do the deeds, who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement. and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." yeah, you can avoid risk. you can avoid doing the hard thing. you can avoid doing the things that you might get politically blamed. you can stay silent and hope that the other party gets blamed because there will be political benefits for that. but i'm going to suggest to you, that's not doing our job. that's not what we were elected to do. we were elected to stand up and fight to do the hard things for the men and women of this country, because, you know what? it is an extraordinary, i

we were on mars out there. no runner water. no ways to bathe. the guys lived in their clothes until they fell off and burned them until they got back once a month. no cooked food. it was bottles of water, boxes of ammo and sand bags for a year. and very intense combat. and one of the things that happened out there was that the men adapted to it. and very quickly whatever the reason was they might have sdwroin joined the army, those reasons disappeared and combat became a matter of keeping themselves and their borothers alive. there was a brotherhood out there that can't exist in society. as friendship in society is based on how you feel about another person. out there it was a brotherhood and had little to do with feelings. there are guys who hate each other, but we would all die for each other. that is a brotherhood and that is what they were fighting for. i didn't know if that was unique to this war or not. i thought it probably wasn't. then i read carl's book. incredible book. and i started to see some of the same things and almost the same g
